Ramona: Caesar salad, 8 oz. filet, baked potato with butter, cheese, and sour cream, iced tea
Jim: Caesar salad, 12 oz. filet, baked potato with butter, cheese, and sour cream, iced tea
Our favorite dish at LBS was the catfish, but on the recommendation of a faithful reader -- SisterSue -- we tried the steaks. They were good, both our filets were tender and exactly medium rare, our preferred temperature.
SisterSue recognized us, and joined us for the meal. We had a nice time trading dining stories and we got a couple of hints about restaurants we had not heard of in Waco.
The 30th reunion of Waco High was gathering as we were eating, and they were a rowdy crowd, but they sure were having a lot of fun.

Dinner -- 7/12/08

Ramona: Fried catfish, fries, Cole slaw, iced tea
Jim: Caesar salad, Fried catfish, fries, iced tea
Shared: Shrimp cocktail
We had a slight family emergency -- neither of us felt like cooking after an exhaustive day going through the treasures which had all finally arrived from our trip to ALA in Anaheim. Then we were also forced to visit a couple of bookstores and add to our collection. So, there was no way we could cook.
This family restaurant on the Brazos River lacks atmosphere, but it more than makes up for the quality of the food. Bother our dinners were nicely cooked and presented. The portions were great, and so was the service.
The last time we visited, we mentioned the hush puppies, which we thought were seriously inferior. The management did not listen to us, and we got the same golf balls; however, this time we mentioned it to the server, and we were told they came frozen and had to be fried to death to cook them all the way through. Now come on! How hard can they be to make fresh? Some savings would have to be realized in shipping and electricity for a couple of hours of frying the frozen version. This little detail can improve an already fine meal.

5:45 - 6:45 PM
Ramona: Fried catfish, fried squash, cole slaw, hush puppies, iced tea
Jim: Fried catfish, French fries, caesar salad, hush puppies, iced tea
We had a coupon for these two dinners which saved us the cost of the drinks. The hush puppies tasted as if they were made in Pennsylvania and mailed to Texas. The rolls were also a bit hard (maybe they were left over from lunch), but the fried catfish was great. The caesar salad was simply greens with a tasty, faux caesar dressing. But I liked it.
